A great day to go to Chile, possibly in a carrier (7)
I believe the answer is:
vehicle
'carrier' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a great day to go to chile possibly' is the wordplay.
'a great day' becomes 've' (abbreviation for Victory in Europe Day).
'to go to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'chile' with letters rearranged gives 'hicle'.
've'+'hicle'='VEHICLE'
'in a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for vehicle that I've seen before include "Lorry perhaps" , "Eg, car" , "Conveyance for transporting passengers on land" , "Means of transport" , "Means of conveyance" .)
